Carl Jung speaks about Death

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist, influential thinker, and founder of analytical psychology. Here he speaks about Death and the Human Psyche.

[@roseannereddy9687]

I have an incurable form of bone marrow cancer. My family don't understand why I am not upset and terrified by the prospect of death. I'm a bit surprised myself. I was very frightened of death when I was a child. Now, nearing 70, I am able to face most things. I'm not religious but I follow a spiritual path through life. I realised I had matured when my first reaction to the "bad news" was to be concerned how it would effect my family. I have worked with them to help them to accept this situation. I was delighted when a sibling and I had a little spat and she swore at me. At last, I thought< we're getting back to normal. Life goes on. I'm very busy finishing up my business, and can honestly say I'm having a whale of a time!

You live like a champion. Hopefully it's as painless as possible for you. You're moving people near and far and that is what we all ought to be doing -- extending our bliss and serenity. God speed, friend

[@locostevn]

I think if you fear death it is because you know deep down inside of you that you are not putting your full effort into your life, if you live your life waiting for things to happen to you then you might feel regrets when death comes for you. Death is inevitable and it can arrive anytime in your life whether your old or young, it is not within your control, what's in your control is your choices in your life. This is just my thoughts and some people might feel differently, I hope I did not offend anyone because that is not my intention.

[@roseannereddy9687]

Well I didn't expect these responses and am much moved by the good wishes. I have loved much in my life and feel that I learned how to be a human being. I have suffered much but it helped me to understand the suffering of others. When I was young I made many mistakes and learned much from them. I can honestly say that the hardest times, like when I looked after my mother who had dementia, taught me the most about what I was capable of in the way of faithful service to others. it helped me to get over my selfishness. I learned how to be happy. Yes, I have my regrets, but I did my best. I believe in a God of Love and that made sense of it all. May that Love, which is the highest power in this or any universe fill your lives and bring you the peace that passes human understanding. Happy Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!!!

[@DragonYeng]

nterviewer: I know that you say death is psychologically just as important as birth and like it is an integral part of life, but surely, it can’t be like birth if it is an end. Can it? Jung: Yes, if it is an end. And there we are not quite certain about this end because we know that there are these peculiar faculties of the psyche - that it isn’t entirely confined to space and time. You can have dreams or visions of the future. You can see around corners and such things. Only ignorants deny these facts. It’s quite evident that they do exist and have existed always. Now these facts show that the psyche - in part, at least - is not dependent on these confinements. And then what? When the psyche is not under that obligation to live in time and space alone - and obviously, it doesn’t - then to that extent, the psyche is not submitted to those laws and that means a practical continuation of life of a sort of psychical existence beyond time and space. Interviewer: Do you, yourself, believe that death is probably the end or do you believe…? Jung: Well, I can’t say. You see, the word “believe” is a difficult thing for me. I don’t “believe.” I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing; and when I KNOW it, I don’t need to believe it. I don’t allow myself, for instance, to believe a thing just for sake of believing it. I can’t believe it! But when there are sufficient reasons for a certain hypothesis, I shall accept these reasons naturally. I shall say “We have to recon with the possibility of so and so.” You know? Interviewer: Well, now you told us that we should regard death as being a goal and to stray away from it is to evade life and life’s purpose. What advice would you give to people in their later life to enable them to do this when most of them must, in fact, believe that death is the end of everything? Jung: Well, you see I have treated many old people and it’s quite interesting to watch what their conscious is doing with the fact that it is apparently threatened with the complete end. It disregards it. Life behaves as if it were going on and so I think it is better for old people to live on, to look forward to the next day as if he had to spend centuries and then he lives happily. But when he is afraid and he doesn’t look forward; he looks back. He petrifies. He gets stiff and he dies before his time, but when he’s living on, looking forward to the great adventure that is ahead, then he lives. And that is about what your conscious is intending to do. Of course it is quite obvious that we’re all going to die and this is the sad finale of everything, but nevertheless, there is something in us that doesn’t believe it, apparently, but this is merely a fact, a psychological fact. Doesn’t mean to me that it proves something. It is simply so. For instance, I may not know why we need salt, but we prefer to eat salt, too, because we feel better. And so when you think in a certain way, you may feel considerably better. And I think if you think along the lines of nature, then you think properly.

[@roberthiorns7584]

Couldn't agree with you more Nadia, I know you understand what millions never will.

[@zeph6439]

Thank you, Robert. I take my example from the ancient Egyptians, who actually looked forward to death and prepared for this eventuality their whole lives through. Death, as an inevitability, shouldn't be feared...what's the point? It should be understood as a temporary juncture, or a gateway to new life. Further to this idea, should we not live this lifetime to the fullest, in anticipation of what is to come? In my view, a precedent is set by how this lifetime is lived and this is carried forward to the next cycle or phase of existence. The thing is that millions of people are fearful of death due to a basic misunderstanding of which role death plays in the never-ending cycle of existence, more's the pity. Have a great day!

[@roberthiorns7584]

What a clever man. What a pleasure to hear him speak. Knew the name most of my 74yrs but this is my first experience with him. Would love to have met him. Some years ago began learning the Spanish language and discovered a whole knew part of life. A deep culture. Poetry, arts, music, humour (am now Australian so spell humour this way). I experienced a Spanish Intellectual man who was way more qualified than I for I only had 10 years of schooling. My point is Jung, my Spanish man, my engineer father were all out of my league. But having to retain some dignity I had to devise some way to challenge my fathers authoritarianism. I would take his own reasoning into a circle and finally confront him with it. Just to keep my dignity. I’m coming to Jung’s “I don’t believe, I have use only of facts.” That was the approach that ‘Spanish Intellectual ‘ used to criticise me. Jung would never do that I “believe.” I was at this mans door with a Bible in my hand. “Do you speak Hebrew”? He challenged. Aha my encounters with my father taught me to gauge his aims so I replied: “No. Neither do I speak Greek Aramaic” He smiled at my tender parry and said “how can you justify coming to my door teaching the Bible when you do not understand the languages of same”? Told him I have done research in those languages to confirm the accuracy of it. “That’s not good enough” he pouted. So I took him onto my circle. The circle of his own reasoning. You are an adult Spaniard here in Australia with a strong accent....so I ‘believe ‘ based upon observation that you came to Australia in recent years. I came by ship from Europe in 1950 but you would have come by air. That is how it is now done. Therefore I ‘believe ‘ you flew in a Boeing 747 unlikely an Airbus. In view of your risking your own life thus as well as your family did you first become totally conversant with the aerodynamics, fluid dynamics both oils electrons, fuels etc. Or did you not realise the technicalities of the modern aircraft is likely beyond you? So you took that risk based on your knowledge that Boeing’s actually do fly. And mostly have done for a very long time. Had you any doubts of any feature of that aircraft you knew you could access data to satisfy your query. And that sir is why I come to your door with a Bible. Any part of which I can analyse. And my method flies. It has been flying so well that I have brothers and sisters in every language of this world albeit in the main uneducated and it flies. Millions of respondents as a result of our work can rest in peace that “belief “ is possible. Just as one does not need to stick a knife into an electrical circuit to “believe” a given result. We need to “examine every word” and “make sure of the important things” because our life and that of our family depends upon it.

One of my many fine doctors told me that it looked as though a tumor they discovered was most likely an especially deadly malignancy. I went to the hospital for biopsies and several people noted that I didn't seem very worried. I wasn't really and just said that there is nothing I can do about it except to follow their advice and I was paying them to do the worrying. Multiple biopsies showed the tumor to be benign and harmless. Restudy a year later showed no growth. An old friend and I went out to celebrate the good news and the restaurant gave us a free bottle of wine. So, I did well!

Victorians(?) sometimes put a bell for buried people because there'd been cases of people buried alive & being HEARD shouting.

My next (last?) death hangs over me daily = I"M TERRIFIED of the dying process PLUS our brain cells don't all die immediately our heart stops = we will be conscious for some time = nobody knows how long...

Jung is probably the most influential person I've encountered in my life. I identify as a Christian, having come to accept the teachings of Christ in college decades ago, but for the most part, the churches I've been part of never presented a teaching or a guidance that worked. They never lived up to their promise, IMO. (I think this is because they were more concerned with building and supporting a culture than explaining a Kingdom.) I've not given up my faith in Christ (where else would I go? -- I encounter many people who have given up their faith and they have, sorry to say, nothing but nihilism and depression to offer), but Jung has provided the clearest description and guidance of how faith works. I've learned and grown more by reading Jung for the past three or four months than I've gained from decades being in the formal institutional church among other professing believers. Jung has validated my belief and has explained how it helps and how I can know it's grounded in truth. He did this without being specifically "religious" or spiritual. Amazing mind and spirit.

Here you have a pioneer, one of the most capable and inquisitive minds in human history, talking in a sense that would be considered blasphemy in the modern arrogant scientific community. Even moreso in the scientific fandom of the full-of-links-but-no-real-understanding internet trolls, who are quick to call Jung an idiot without investing a fraction of their own intelligence towards what he dedicated his life, time and his brilliant mind upon. That is not to say all are equal, but it's a trend hard to ignore. On open-mind I would say, is still as rare as it was thousands of years ago.

He can be a genius in his field and people can still disagree with some of his ideas, especially if these ideas hardly intertwine with his area of expertise. Being critically acclaimed doesn't make you immune to criticism. This, among other things, is the reason why our civilization and our understanding of the world constantly develop. But let's not get carried away. My initial point was that the concepts discussed in this video are far off from what Jung is best known for, therefore his opinion shouldn't be so highly regarded by admirers like yourself.

How sometimes people dream of future circumstances only for it to happen almost a few days to weeks later; or seeing people in a dream you haven't seen in a long time then the following days you come by them seemingly by pure luck or chance. He was heavily implying Deja Vu and such. And he's right you're completely ignorant if you deny things of that nature happens. So essentially... His point still stands and the only fools here are you two pretentious know-it-alls.

[@Prisoner]

@@Travisbig7 why does his point still stand? He literally said people can see through the future, you added it was through dreams. How can you prove people can see the future? You really argue that it is obvious that people can see the future in their dreams and that any scientist who disagrees is foolish? I bet that at least 99% of academics have no belief on humans seeing the future.

I just see people moving around unaware of the real motives of their life, Jung teach me that the forces governing human life are unaware to us.

[@tyla1084]

I wish I could have asked Dr. Jung, "Is the essence of your struggle-- that you seem to feel that you must justify your heart?" He turned to logic to do that. I wish I could have told him, you can't know anything without first believing that you know it. It's ok to accept your heart and to trust in a heart way. You won't go wrong. The heart leads the way to logic because it is true and only the heart can really witness pure truth...What a wonderful man.

One of the few of the great modern era minds humble enough to say "I don't know". "I don't have an opinion about that which i don't know."

He developed a feeling of openness to possibilities were thought denied him such.

@07Aristotle (continued) if it's below the absolute threshold OR if the sensation remains constant (such as smelling odors, but then no longer smelling them after a while).

TRADUÇÃO EM PORTUGUÊS Entrevistador: Eu sei que você diz que a morte é psicologicamente tão importante quanto o nascimento e como se fosse uma parte integrante da vida, mas certamente, não pode ser como o nascimento se for um fim. Pode? Jung: Sim, se for um fim. E aí não temos certeza sobre esse fim, porque sabemos que existem essas faculdades peculiares da psique - que não está inteiramente confinado ao espaço e ao tempo. Você pode ter sonhos ou visões do futuro. Você pode ver além dos cantos e coisas assim. Somente os ignorantes negam esses fatos. É bastante evidente que eles existem e sempre existiram. Agora, esses fatos mostram que a psique - em parte, pelo menos - não depende desses confinamentos. E depois? Quando a psique não está sob a obrigação de viver no tempo e no espaço sozinha - e obviamente não está - então, nessa medida, a psique não está submetida a essas leis e isso significa uma continuação prática da vida de uma espécie de psíquica existência além do tempo e do espaço. Entrevistador: Você mesmo acredita que a morte é provavelmente o fim ou você acredita ...? Jung: Bem, não posso dizer. Veja, a palavra “acreditar” é uma coisa difícil para mim. Eu não "acredito". Devo ter um motivo para certa hipótese. Ou eu sei de alguma coisa; e quando EU SEI, não preciso acreditar. Eu não me permito, por exemplo, acreditar em uma coisa só por acreditar. Eu não posso acreditar! Mas quando houver razões suficientes para uma certa hipótese, aceitarei essas razões naturalmente. Eu direi "Temos que nos reconhecer com a possibilidade de fulano de tal." Você sabe? Entrevistador: Bem, agora você nos disse que devemos considerar a morte como um objetivo e nos desviar dela é fugir da vida e do propósito da vida. Que conselho você daria às pessoas mais tarde para capacitá-las a fazer isso, quando a maioria delas deve, de fato, acreditar que a morte é o fim de tudo? Jung: Bem, você vê que tratei muitos idosos e é muito interessante observar o que sua consciência está fazendo com o fato de estar aparentemente ameaçada com o fim completo. Ele o desconsidera. A vida se comporta como se fosse continuando e por isso acho melhor que os velhos continuem a viver, a olhar para o dia seguinte como se tivessem que passar séculos e depois viver felizes. Mas quando ele está com medo e não olha para frente; ele olha para trás. Ele petrifica. Ele fica rígido e morre antes do tempo, mas quando ele está vivendo, ansioso pela grande aventura que está à sua frente, então ele vive. E isso é sobre o que seu consciente pretende fazer. Claro que é bastante óbvio que todos vamos morrer e esse é o triste final de tudo, mas, no entanto, há algo em nós que não acredita nisso, aparentemente, mas isso é apenas um fato, um fato psicológico . Não significa para mim que prova algo. É simplesmente assim. Por exemplo, posso não saber por que precisamos de sal, mas preferimos comer sal também, porque nos sentimos melhor. E então, quando você pensa de certa maneira, pode se sentir consideravelmente melhor. E eu acho que se você pensar de acordo com as linhas da natureza, você pensa corretamente.

This title reminded me of the following graffiti I saw long time ago: Nietzsche: "God is dead." God: "Nietzsche is dead."

[@supermanthattay]

Nietzsche meant God is gone from culture. He was right, as you can see the rise of enlightenment, empirical thought processes. He was not happy with the death of God. His full quote "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"

[@antoineduchamp4931]

Sad boi: He was being interviewed by a great British intellect of his day, who had been ambassador for the UK to the USA. He was John Freeman, a very great brain indeed. This is the only filmed interview in English that Jung ever gave, and we are so privileged to have it. It is only because Jung liked Freeman that he gave the interview - Jung's initial reaction to the request of the BBC for this interview was "no".

Your energy has to absorb into something, it doesn't just disappear, in fact, life has energy, just not all are like humans with are many languages, and known negative energy which can set a chain of negative through many generations until one puts a stop to it through a form of meditation to relieve oneself of the negative

[@folksurvival]

Yes, if you are buried your energy, the atoms that make up your body obviously do not dissappear they become part of the soil, the plants, the animals and so on. If you are cremated then your energy is burned by fire and released into the atmosphere as heat and smoke etc. and your ashes go back into the cycle as carbon elements.

[@everlastingfeels3506]

I think he was thinking more on the terms of a consisusness fundamental. Whereby the reality is just a creation of consisusness a seemingly real one. But because consoussness does not have space it creates it death is simply thr end of a part of consisusness while ultimately consoussness is infinite

[@mathiaschristensen6577]

@unixmonk they are educated by youtube

[@respberry123]

Oh our energy is in fact absorbed and doesn't disappear. It's called thermal energy and it gets absorbed by molecules in the air and soil, which in turn slightly raises the temperature of the surrounding we're rotting in. The energy mostly comes out of our rectums. That's a normal part of rotting. Sadly, that's about it. Thermal energy doesn't produce consciousness. In case by "energy" you meant the matter that makes us - it's eaten off by worms and bacteria. What's left slowly degrades and enriches the soil.
